The state, condition, or quality of being Gypsy or Romani; Gypsy identity or collective identity.
From 'Gipsy' plus the suffix '-hood' (meaning a state or condition), as in 'childhood' or 'adulthood.'
Using '-hood' to describe Romani identity frames it as an abstract state or quality—which can flatten the reality that Romani people are living communities with specific histories and homelands.
